I think that we have evidence of a big screw up in the
mail system between watmath and utzoo.
This message appeared on our system today.
It is message number 710 in the "net.math" section.
It is a repeat of something that I posted a more than a month ago.
Notice that the first part of the message is missing.
Two problems:
       part of the message missing
       about two month's delay
What is going on?
The fix for the first problem has been posted around the net.
Why is it still happening?

	e
	always found an invertible matrix.  No singular matrices so far.
	
	So, I have this question:
	
	         Given an  N by N  matrix with integer entries
	         chosen (with replacement) from the set of
	         integers {1, 2, 3, ..., K}, what is the
	         probability, as a function of N and K, that
	         the determinant of the matrix will be zero?
